Year 11 and 12 Studies of Religion II students recently visited the Nan Tien Temple to enhance their understanding of Buddhism, a key component of their SOR II curriculum.  The excursion offered a comprehensive learning experience, allowing students to immerse themselves in various aspects of Buddhist practice and teachings.

During their visit, students participated in meditation and mindfulness sessions, practiced Tai Chi, and took part in a bell ceremony.  They also witnessed several Buddhist rituals and engaged in a traditional tea ceremony, gaining first-hand experience of Buddhist cultural practices.  The students learned from Buddhist nuns, who provided insightful talks on Buddhist teachings and philosophies.  This enriching experience was made possible by the dedicated efforts of Ms Gardner, Ms Northam and Mr Rowe, as well as Dru from Newcombe's Bus Company, who facilitated the trip.
